Raw reads COI Illumina NextSeq metabarcoding library

Demultiplexed raw reads of the COI Illumina NextSeq metabarcoding library. The files contained include true samples, positive control and negative controls to assess moth diversity. The data contained in the files were assessed using the Python package FastQC, while processing and filtering steps were conducted using the R package <i>dada2 </i>for Amplicon Sequence Variant (ASV) generation. Downstream analysis was performed using the R package <i>phyloseq</i> and formatted for ecological analyses using additional R packages (e.g. <i>vegan</i>).
